When I found out I was picked to photograph Rogue and Nakoa I was beyond excited; it’s not everyday I get to work with twins. Although twins typically come with some challenges, whats that saying…double trouble, I enjoy taking them on. It reminds me a lot of when I was first starting out as a newborn photographer and the learning and growing that came along with photographing newborns. Over the years, I have developed a routine and at times photographing singletons can feel like a breeze so I love the challenge that come with twins. Luckily for me Rogue and Nakoa were amazing and a pleasure th ..read more

This year was the first time I got the chance to shoot at Star Hill Ranch and it defiantly won’t be my last. Located off Hamilton Pool Road, this outdoor venue is perfect for weddings, reunions, family pictures and more. Started in 2002, the heart of the ranch is centered around the Pontotoc Chapel which is host to hundreds of events each year. Along with the sweet chapel, dozens of old building are relocated to make a makeshift town. I especially love Star Hill Ranch because how different the venue is. Traditionally I shoot at the typical field or metro area in and around Austin so this ..read more

Six month sessions are one of my favorites to shoot. The babies are so full of personality and not quite on the move so we get some really great pictures. Harper came in the studio this week for her six month sitter session and was so full of smiles for her mom and dad. Her sweet laughter, big expressions, and newly learned sitting skill were so fun to capture. And she sure was proud to show them off!!  In this hour long session the parents get to chose from the many outfits provided in studio or bring there own which takes the stress off what baby should wear! Babies First Year Package H ..read more

Record Time On Monday I got the privilege with working with less than 2 week old Liam. From the time the new family arrived to the time they left was a dream for any newborn photographer. I don’t think Liam opened his eyes once and he let me put in him many position changes along with a few outfit with no more than a squeak. From start to finish this shoot only took me 37 mins – record time! Rough edits were sent out a few hours later and the excited parents picked their favorites soon after. Within 24 hours their completed album was sent to them setting another person record of a less than 24 ..read more

The Motherlode Veena booked her first maternity shoot for when she was already 36 weeks along. Generally my moms-to-be schedule a session earlier on in their pregnancy.My maternity shoots usually take place when my client is at 30-34 weeks so that mobility isn’t is as much of concern. Despite being so far along in her pregnancy, Veena was able to stand up and walk on her own. In my personal experience, moms usually need a hand from their husband or myself in order to feel stable. I was incredibly impressed with how well Veena carried herself without assistance! One of my favorite things about ..read more

Sentimental about Seniors One of the best things about being a mom is experiencing those special “firsts”. From first birthdays, first words, first steps and especially the first day of school- these moments are ones we cherish. It is my pleasure to photograph these moments and capture them for a lifetime. Nothing makes me happier than to know I am providing my clients with such a precious gift. I have met countless families, held numerous babies, photographed many firsts and I can honestly say photographing a high school senior gives me the same sentimental feeling. Senior Photos capture this ..read more

Maternity World With all of these beautiful newborns, it had been a while since I had a mommy-to-be in front of the lens.

We want our world as flawless as our new creation. As a photographer, I have found that sometimes it’s easy for client to get distracted from these enjoya ..read more

Wow, it has been a while. I can’t believe it has been 3 months since I have last blogged. It has been quiet in the blogging hemisphere at SGP but business has been busy. But amongst all this craziness I managed to sneak out and attend a newborn workshop. Many people always ask me if I have a degree in photography. My degree is in management with an emphasis in marketing but I have spent many hours educating myself with classes and mentoring with other more seasoned photographers as well as spend the last 4 years focusing my attention on mainly newborns. End of April I had the chance to mentor ..read more

Welcome baby Preston! Tiny baby, tiny ears and tiny toes! Baby boy was born early and spent several nights in the NICU before he could go home with his parents and older brother. They were a dream to have in my studio, and big brother was such a handsome character to photograph. Preston did so well, he hardly woke as we positioned him into place. We were able to do a complete gallery of family, sibling and brother images. How to Survive The NICU New parents eagerly look forward to bringing their new baby home, so of course it can be disheartening to find mom’s been discharged while baby is s ..read more

    Meet Elizabeth! My newborn photography session with Elizabeth was not one to forget. Baby Elizabeth arrived fashionably late to this world. She was 10 days overdue and was finally born November 9th. This cutie comes from a family of Arizona University graduates which required its own statement. This cuddly puff wanted to stay awake during her session, and I don’t blame her. I mean, have you seen my newly remodeled studio? Mom and Dad relaxed on the comfy couch as they watched their bundle of love strike her own poses. They were in absolute awe o ..read more
